I typically like to put the pitching/ batting camera out by center field and zoomed in like what the MLB does but that's a lot of cable and needs repeaters to do that.
We use the SWIT 150 wireless transmitter for CF camera and just bought the Teradek version of that aswell. Prices are relaly good now and no more cables. Finally!
The equipment you show is expensive and most of us need basic stuff to start. Wht will you sugest for golf ......drive along cam.....Internet connect? RU-vid or fb
Depends on the software being used. It looks like they were using Blueframe Production Truck. That company was bought by HUDL a couple years ago. The software is included free if you have BUY/LEASE a HUDL camera or it can be purchased/subscription licensed. OBS works as well. Production Truck isn't very expensive and there are a lot of pre-built items that are really easy to use (Overlays, injecting ADs, scoreboards, Lineup templates, etc.)
For the past few years have been searching for setup video, at least got basic idea clear via this video. Btw how fast your internet should be for this kind of streaming?
You'd want to have at least 10 mbps upload available for a very basic HD stream, if you were streaming at 60fps for sports I'd recommend at least 25 mpbs available for the live stream, and ensure that its a private connection as well so the network doesn't get congested.
Researching what we would need to broadcast HEMA tournaments, this is great starting point for finding info, thank you so much for sharing! $10k is way out of our leagues price range atm. Would you have suggestions for a more budget friendly setup?
No problem! I would check out our kit page for more budget-conscious equipment, you'll see most cost-effective cameras, switchers, etc: kit.com/BoxCast
I always wanted to do one of these things but never knew where to start, this was very helpful so thank you, but is there a possibility that you can break it down more and tell me where very thing is and how you wet it all up before a gane
Fantastic setup....got a question. I also do live sports streaming in Tennessee, since 2006. Ive pretty much solved all problems I've had, but 1, as of now. When shooting baseball/softball you're behind a net, between fans and the field. What camera settings do you use to make that net disappear "the most" when shooting the field begin it? Thanks!
Hey there! Thanks! You might want to manually dial in the focus so the net doesn't take precedent over the action on that field, other than that, we usually zoom in farther to the pitcher and batters to try to avoid it, but the ultimate solution is probably to use wireless HDMI transmitters in the back of the field to avoid the net. Hope that helps!
don’t think so would be another station and you’d need at the very least an additional hyperdeck or a dedicated replay machine like the one from roland or software.
nice setup. what would you suggest to use if there is one announcer in the box and one on the field to do interviews and they both want to talk to each other... so some kind of wireless audio attached to the mixer... i presume... thoughts?
Hi there, great question. We've never had to try anything like that before, but I imagine you could use a couple of these for the announcer on the field to send and receive audio wirelessly: www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1444574-REG/sennheiser_xsw_d_xlr_base_set_xlr_base_set_xsw_d.html?sts=pi&pim=Y
Any recommendations on placement when you pretty much have zero infrastructure away from the field. I currently broadcast from the home dugout due to network and power accessibility. Our play by play guy is right behind home plate behind the netting, doing PA as well. We use a GoPro inside the netting for our main shot and a stationary camera at centerfield. But nothing really in between. Any tricks to giving a quality broadcast without putting camera operators safety at risk?
Hey Gibb! You can always try mounting PTZ cameras around the field and control them manually from the dugout. This video explains how they work: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-uIfkz8W4ZrM.html&ab_channel=BoxCast
What kind of bitrates do people advise to avoid buffering for the end viewer? I know there are plenty of rough guides, but some real world examples would be good. We have a strong upload connection of about 60mbps but I feel we've been really conservative in streaming at 2500kbps (as we're only starting out with live soccer to an audience) and could push it up considerably, maybe even at 50 instead of 30fps. Using fairly basic equipment of OBS and Elgato capture card plus Macbook.
the bit rate you stream at doesn't really effect whether your viewers will see buffering or not, that's really about how fast their internet is and what type of streaming service you're using. However, if you've got 60mbps up and not a lot of congestion on that connection, I don't see why you couldn't at least push your bit rate to atleast 10 mbps
I would agree. Send the highest quality stream your bandwidth and gear will allow with about a 30% buffer left for "other" traffic that always seems to cause issues. Let the delivery provider (youtube, hudl, etc.) take care of providing lower bandwidth streams if the client needs it. Their platforms are a lot better at determining which bandwidth/resolution to deliver.
What could be some equipment to start off? I’m trying to broadcast a golf tournament but just the feature holes. It won’t requiere of that much of production or camera shots.
Hey there! I think you're the biggest obstacle is going to be the distance between the holes and finding a solid internet connection. Depending on how much distance you have to cover, you may want to look into hollyland wireless products: www.hollyland-tech.com/products/detail-43.html
Viral Videos with Arun kishta Plus $99 a month minimum for as long as you use the product!! Although I truly do love the boxcaster this will get insanely expensive so make sure you can build a good paying clientele! Js
Hi there! It's these: www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/656153-REG/Audio_Technica_BPHS1_BPHS1_Broadcast_Stereo_Headset.html/?ap=y&ap=y&smp=y&smp=y&lsft=BI%3A514&gclid=CjwKCAjw1JeJBhB9EiwAV612y3f1taXQYdk18UEWSZoQ-T_VSXYtGrx8rhdPCkLD8Wk6QhfvXHOtQRoCHxgQAvD_BwE
We just use a simple shotgun mic which works well, but you may also want to try an ambient mic depending on where you place it! www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1200816-REG/sennheiser_mke_600_shotgun_microphone.html It runs on phantom power from the audio mixer, but you can also power it with AA batteries.
Is a wireless hub strong enough to guve you the private internet signal. Like the hubs you get at your cell phone provider to give you wireless access.
It can be, it depends on how close your encoder is to the hub, how close the hub is to your router, and you're overall network strength. We tend to stay away from them for mission critical broadcasts, but they can work in a pinch.
@@3-piece129 depends on the upload speed at the gym, and the location of the nearest router, and any where the closest hardline connection is, and how fast their internet is?
@@BoxCast thank you, i have one more question. i see your using one capture card, and your working with 4 cameras, will (1) blackmagic capture card do for 4 cameras?How would you capture 4 cameras with one capture card? Thank you
Could you use the new Blackmagic ATEM mini pro as an affordable option to live stream high school games. what would an affordable video camera system. I normally just shoot stills of the games to post later but in today's conditions games maybe played with limited spectators or no spectators.
An ATEM mini would work great! Some simple camcorders like these would work great: www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1372248-REG/canon_2404c002_vixia_hf_g21_full.html
BoxCast thanks most sports will work indefinitely the 100 ft football will be the issue a video on this might help school system plan for the fall if things are limited for spectators
@@yusufkasim9718 For this, according to me, it should be different from the live stream, only the output video of real time streaming from the laptop can be connected to the scoreboard
@@jemalguillory Sure thing, I think you might be referring to the Blackmagic Web Presenter, which we're not using in this video. Instead, we're streaming with a BoxCaster Pro, which lets us live stream up to 1080p60. However, the main reason people would choose a lower resolution than 4K for live streaming is that 4K streaming requires a lot of uplink bandwidth, which isn't realistic in every situation (and your viewers have to have a good enough internet connection to be able to watch a 4k stream). What's more important than video resolution when it comes to live streaming is to have a strong internet connection and a high video bit-rate, that's what will determine how good your stream looks. Does that make sense?
Are you these guys? www.boxcast.com and do you partner with InPlayer for PPV and subscription features? If so very interested! Do you provide more than one 2 channels for streaming simultaneously? Thanks
Hi Mark, that's us! I'm not 100% certain if we integrate with InPlayer, although I imagine we could. We also have our own ppv platform. We do give you the ability to stream to multiple channels at once.
@@markhepi7791 Absolutely! You can book a meeting with one of our streaming specialists here: app.hubspot.com/meetings/brian-lee/boxcast-live-stream-meeting
